WordPress: Author Signature

March 6, 2015January 5, 2018Laura

Every post in my index page has a ‘xox Laura’ (before ‘Posted By *Ra’) image, some of you wondered how I did it. I’m sure there are other methods out there and maybe some plugins or easier ways but here how I make it.

First of all make your image, then add this code in the loop…

<div class="author"></div>

with the new version of WP I had some difficulties so I changed the word “author” to another word (I personally used the Italian equivalent), if you change it remember to change it also later, in the next step

of course change ‘left’ to ‘right’ or ‘center’ if you want your sig elsewhere the height is important because without it the div doesn’t have dimensions and doesn’t appear, obviously it’s the height of your image. IMAGE URL is where you have your theme images, usually it’s ‘images/author.jpg’.

I would recommend WordPress as starter, maybe a domain and hosting but do it yourself if you understand the Web world a little bit. I learnt from scratch and if I can do what I’m doing today it’s thanks to my own will to learn.
